SA reacts to first confirmed coronavirus case #CoronaVirusSA

Mzansi people do not rest, in less than an hour after the first confirmed coronavirus case was announced, #CoronaVirusSA was trending on Twitter.
The first case of coronavirus in the country was confirmed on Thursday. A 38-year-old man who returned home from Italy began experiencing symptoms days after he arrived, Minister of Health, Zweli Mkhize, said. His family has been quarantined.
While the government is on top of the case so far, you can stay up to date on information on the COVID-19 outbreak on the World Health Organising (WHO) website, and through the national Department of Health.
